Young Czech pianist Jan Schulmeister has won the Newcomer category at the prestigious BBC Music Magazine Awards for his recording of Russian piano music. The award was presented at a ceremony at Kings Place in London on Wednesday evening.
The 20-year-old’s winning album features works by Modest Mussorgsky, Alexander Scriabin and Sergei Rachmaninoff, composers of the late 19th century who otherwise have relatively little in common stylistically, but are brought together here through Schulmeister’s expressive playing.
